[urq] Waterfest 2002 Photos

[auditude at cox.net]

I would sure like to see some more pics of that car.  Not only the hood, but I was curious to know what Nogaro/RS2 blue looked like on a 4kq.  Looks nice with the black relief window frames, iirc (can't browse right now to confirm).

In one of the Tuning Zubehor catalogs I have, a company makes weld-on drop-down sections for the 90's or so style of 190.  They allow the use of the later style, flush MBZ grill.  It would be cool if the same was offered for the Type 85's, and the Type 44's for that matter.  Not that wishing helps any.
